With Newcastle United, 1st Division Champion 1905, 1907, 1909, FA Cup winner 1910, FA Cup runner-up 1908, 1911. Bill is arguably one of the best full-backs ever to play the game. His tactical awareness and understanding with Frank Hudspeth saw them perfect the offside trap to force a change in the rules in 1925. If not always appreciated elsewhere, the Newcastle captain was adored on Tyneside during his 19-year career at St James' Park.
